cliffhanger dialogue drama exercise short shortstory suspense thriller

A collection of cliffhanging short stories. 

•••

As a writer, I get my creative juices flowing by formulating snapshot (or "snap") stories, which are short and sweet scenes of 500 words or less. I welcome any and all reader feedback including writing tips, style suggestions, thoughts on the language, or on the characters, or the story. After all, this is a writing exercise for me and the goal is to improve!

...and if you find yourself wanting to know what happens next, leave a comment and let me know! P.S. (I plan to release a new snapshot story once a week.)All Rights Reserved
